I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs Addison Kettle in matte black, and I'm quite pleased with it overall. It boasts a good 1.7L capacity, variable temperature settings, and a keep-warm function, which are all very useful features. The blue LED indicator is a nice touch, and it boils water quickly thanks to its 3000W power. One thing I was slightly concerned about, having read other reviews, was the potential for the writing on the kettle to come off. However, I'm happy to report that so far, I haven't experienced any issues with this. The writing remains intact, even after several uses. Of course, it's possible that this might change over time with multiple cleanings, but for now, it's not a problem
Very happy
Best kettle I have used!
Brilliant
Lovely product
Fast boil, and different temperatures, good value for money
Fast boil with the added bonus of temperature control.
Best kettle I have bought.
Brilliant, quieter and quicker than my old kettle, I can have a red hot cup of tea because of the temperature gauge, very happy
Excellent kettle- reasonable price - bleeps are not too loud - great for herbal teas with the temp range - fast boil - but best of all it pours without dripping everywhere - basically if I dropped it & it broke I’d buy another
Lovely kettle, great to have the temp pre sets for different drinks. Highly recommend
Solid feeling kettle.Different settings are useful. Not exactly a game changer though!!I would recommend the kettle.
Love this kettle easy to use and sturdy
This kettle is the best one I have owned and does what it should!
I picked this kettle based on the good reviews and haven’t been disappointed. The only very minor niggle is the slightly annoying electronic beep every time you place the kettle on or remove it from its stand. Other than that it’s great!
We bought this to see if we would use any of the heating settings. Quite franklly we have not. We drink 99% tea so have justr used the one setting - I suppose very useful if you have different types of drink
It's quiet easy to use would recommend it
Great kettle. I love the buttons on it. Only thing I wish you could turn off was the beeping every time to press a button or take the kettle off the base stand and put it back on.
Being able to pick the temperature is a much needed change to a kettle, would highly recommend this
Good kettle does what you want
Ideal if you drink coffee as well as tea
I like the modern clean styling with a matte black finish and metal spout. The capacity is 1.7l which is typical of most household kettles, yet it manages to look compact. The swivel base gives you the flexibility to locate the kettle in awkward spaces, while allowing the kettle to be removed to fill or pour water. A potentially useful feature are the five pre-set temperature buttons. For the avid fans of brewing tea and coffee at their optimum temperature. There is a also a button to select Keep Warm.The lid pops up when the release button is actioned, allowing full access to the interior of the kettle. It would have been handy to have more graduations in the water level scale, I think 0.5l markings are too coarse. Maybe also graduations measuring cups.This is a powerful kettle that boils water fast, which is my primary consideration for a kettle. This kettle looks and feels like a quality product and is priced accordingly.
As good as the 2year old Ninja that it replaces. About half the price and has a 3 year guarantee rather than the 1 with the failed Ninja
Brilliant kettle light on weight and easy to use
Very happy with purchase, at first no, but now 👍👍
No problems
Russell Hobbs know their household electrical appliances and have designed a kettle with a few extra functions that may be useful. However if you just want a kettle to boil hot water for hot drinks you probably won’t want to pay the extra for these features so this probably isn’t the kettle for you.The 3000w heating element and 1.7 litre capacity are pretty standard I think and are available in much cheaper kettles but this does ensure the convenience of fast boiling. It’s a bit noisy when boiling but I think that is normal and it’s not loud enough for me to complain about.The matte black finish with the blue LED indicator light looks sleek, stylish and modern and should fit in with any kitchen, although it is a fingerprint magnet and needs frequent wiping down due to this.It’s heavy when full but comfortable enough to lift and pour and the swivel base makes moving it around to the best position for you simple and safe.One of the added useful extras is the variable temperature control with its five presets which is a precise temperature for different drinks such as green tea, black coffee and even water at a temperature suitable for baby formula. The 'Keep Warm' function is really useful and I have used this more than I thought it would and I have found it really handy – I’m always boiling the kettle, getting distracted and then forgetting about it and needing to reboil half an hour later.All in all this is a good kettle albeit a pricey one so you would need to weigh up if the handy extras are worth the extra asking price.
This kettle is perfect multiple temperature settings and very fast to boil. Would recommend it.
Very pleased with this kettle. Good value and looks good and works well. This kettle replaced an old Russell Hobbs kettle that showed no sign of wearing out. The replacement has a stainless steel interior and the variable temperature settings-no more guess work for my green tea. We have other Russell Hobbs items-a fridge freezer and microwave and this British make has proved to be very reliable. An excellent buy.
Hi, not only is it a very good kettle the company (home and beauty direct) offer exceptional after care service that has gone above that I have previously expected from online suppliers.
